I have tried once in Duluth to get a school to try using some Linux on some of their boxes, but mostly the network admins are afraid of it, because they don't know enough about it, or have experience with it. Being one of the few in this town willing to volunteer some time, I cannot do the whole project myself.

I have been on the K12Linux mailing list for a while. I was waiting for school to finish up for the year, but when I had a chance I was going to see if there was a need anywhere for LTSP (The K12Linux group has their own setup for it to make it easy, I have played with it some on my own). I would be more than willing to donate my time an efforts into helping the schools. Perhaps if we can get enough people to support this idea, the TCLUG can "addopt" a school to help support a Linux deployment?
